Who We Are

Take New Ground is a results-oriented, process-driven strategic partner for organizations seeking cultural transformation. Our coaches work with high-impact leaders and executives to integrate new insights and catalyze them into unprecedented action.

TNG’s unique approach creates results through a training process which help our partners create sustainable culture change and better business outcomes.

When it comes to poor leadership, many people waste time distracted with symptoms instead of focusing on the cause. With over 70 years of collective coaching experience, we’re committed to self-discovery through courageous discussion and intentionally mentoring high-performers to open doors to REAL change.

Instilling a High-Performance Culture and promoting Leadership at every level of the organization is fundamental to every TNG consulting engagement. We give each participant the opportunity to engage with real time feedback and invite them to exercise their creativity as they own their vision and the results they’re producing. Blindspots, resistance and competency gaps show up during our daily engagement and this is a key place where value is revealed. Every interaction culminates in an action plan for the next meeting.

Conversations are built on high levels of trust, personal integrity, radical ownership, and leadership creativity. If you feel isolated, your back is against the wall, nothing seems to be working and you are wasting time being distracted with symptoms instead of getting to the root cause…We’re here to help you see a way out.
